Abstract
This paper provides an account of gamification in education. Apart from its emergence, it clarifies how gamification differs from gaming and game-based learning. It also discusses the elements of gamification, its advantages and its principles. It also sketches the theoretical underpinning of the concept, the models, its various applications, and the obstacles to using it in the educational process.
